Contemporary Batak Wedding || Laras & Stephan

Contemporary Batak Wedding || Laras & Stephan

Laras & Stephan held their second wedding last week in Jakarta so Stephan’s family who flew directly from Holland could experience Batak Traditional Mangulosi Ceremony

Just an introduction, I met Laras & Stephan back in May, during a break of a wedding coverage in Gran Mahakam Hotel Jakarta. We sat together and talked about the wedding she will hold in Bali and in Jakarta. She said to me that she already took care the Bali wedding and she wanted to decide who’s going to be her Jakarta wedding photographer. And they chose me.

Everytime a bride and groom decided to choose the team, I feel really grateful. Not just because this is merely another weekend job I have to do, but that I get to know another beautiful beings who are about to start their sacred, romantic journey.

This is my food. Love is my food for life, it has been and will ever be.

Laras is a really pretty Bataknese Indonesian woman who met her prince charming, Stephan in Holland. Laras wants moments. And here I am delivering the set. I hope this story can be a good reminder of how your Jakarta wedding looked like.
